Hon. w. LUCIUs CLAP, of Memphis,
who was elected Speaker of the Tennes
see House, is son of Judge J. w. Clapp,
formerly citizen of Mississippi, and
was born in Holly Springs. He is a lieu
tenant in the Chickasaw Guards, and
has shared in all the triumphs of that
famous company. When we reflect that
Judge Elicit, formerly member of the
Supreme Bench of this State, is now a
judge, that G. P. NJ. Turner, formerly a
citizen of Kosciusko, has been District
Attorney, tnat Phelan, an Aberdeen
boy, has been elected to Congress, and
that Clapp is Speaker, it seems that
Memphis is not unfriendly to Mississip-
plans, to say the least of it.

SEVEN miles east of Tiffin, Ohio, and
one miles west of Republic, about
o'clock on the morning of the 4th a
passenger train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, running at the rate of GA
miles an hour collided with freight
train. The passenger train consisted of
the baggage car, one coach and two
sleepers. The engines were completely
wrecked, and the coach and baggage car
were telescoped SO that the two occupied
the space of one. The sieepers did not
leave the track. The telescoped cars
caught FIRE from the stove, and passen-
gers who were imprisoned in the wreck
were burnt to death The scene in all
its sickening horrors cannot be de-
scribed. The engineers Of both trains
saved themselves by jumping from their
cabs. Fifteen or twenty persons were
killed and as many more wounded.

Criminal Court on the 4th. Witrock

An Obvious Fact.
St. Louis Republican. ]

SI. LOUIS IstpU DIICdH
Whether men are voted for on person
al grounds or on broad general princi-
piles, the Office is the direct incentive to
the vote. This fact is obvious to every
man of common sense. Every voter
who casts an intelligent ballot knows
that he votes to fill the Offices with men
of his choice. If this is not as it should
be, there is an escape for it-a certain
escape, but the only one possible. 1t is
through the abolition of the present
system of government and the substitu-
ton of one-man power, under which the
people will have no voice, and under
which they will have no right to say
who shall represent them in the govern
ment.

KINDS COUNTY, Jan. Sth, 1887.
EDITOR CLARION: 1 trust that the
people of Jackson and vicinity especially
will appreciate the importance of the
Dairy and Fruit Convention to be held
there February Is. Above all thingset
there be an earnest and cordial greeting
let genuine hospitality be shown to those
who come so far from the Northwest to
be with us. Let there be meeting Of
the citizens, and let these visitors be
entertained without cost. Rely upon it,
this hospitable greeting will be worth
all else. Again, let there be full
exhibit of cattle which has been kept
during the winter without any feed,
except the natural range which the
country affords. This will be rare and
striking illustration of what we have as
natural grazing; from an economical
standpoint, it will be effective. These
two points | commend TO the considera
ton of the managers of this Conven-
ton. Let there be a meeting of our
citizens soon. FARMER,
